Payments Declined
I have applied for payments and keep getting the declined notice, but I can't reach anyone that can tell me why. I have tried chat, phone calls - even requested a call back from customer care - but to no avail.
I have spent almost 3 hours chasing the phones and chats to try and get a contact that I can speak to who manages the Canadian payments. I did get to one rep who told me that I should just "wait a month and try again" - which is not possible for my business.
I have the generic email saying "these are some of the reasons why accounts are declined" but none of them seem to apply to my business. How can I speak to someone about this?
Any thoughts or contact numbers?

Thanks for the reply - but again after spending 20 minutes on chat I was advised that they only handle US accounts and I'm Canadian.

Yes - that is the number I called earlier today.
The chat gave me another link - and I tried them. They told me they are not the payments department.
I am now on my 3rd chat.

I tried the phone number again - and the automated system text me instructions on how to apply.

Is there anyone that can help?

I have done all 3 - I have called that number about 4 times today
I have had multiple chats and the callback I requested never came.
after another 90 minutes tonight I got someone who said they could look in to it.
It should not be this hard to do business with Quickbooks

Consider having a 3rd party payment processor.

Thank you - looks like that is the route I have to go.
So it begs the question - why am I using Quickbooks for my accounting if they aren't able to handle my business needs? Is it worth even staying with them?

It all depends on your needs and situations. Most accounting apaps also use third-party payment processors. One app integrates natively with Paypal and the other works with Stripe. You can purchase a third party service to convert your QB data to one of these accounting apps if required.

Thanks - I'll go check them out.
I really just need to find a company where you can speak to someone live in these situations to understand the process.
